As Community base organization working to contribute to the reduction of teenage pregnancies among 1,000 students ages 13 to 18 per year in 10 secondary schools using behavior change process (BCP), and economically empower 100 young people ages 14 to 20 per year who dropped out of school to live a life free of coercion, discrimination and gender-based violence (GBV). Not only that we aim to involve child of 4 to 7years old to ICT Training for computer knowledge at medium schools level private sector and Government. The project focuses on empowering school girls on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and also provide knowledge on Sexual Reproductive Health and life skills through safe space creation, Mentorship and coaching as means to increase girls excellence in education, and reducing early pregnancies and transmission of STIs, The project deploys peer led but teacher supported in school programs with tailor made package which also cover formation of school clubs. Statement of the Problem Only 26% of girls in Tanzania go to secondary schools and among them only 3% makes it to terrestrial education. In the academic year 2014/15 for instance total of 41955 students was successful admitted to 31 public universities across the country, wonderful enough only 34% of that total was girls. Most Adolescent Secondary school girls in Tanzania are not encouraged to take Science Technology Engineering and Mathematic either by their community or culture, lack confidence, lack sufficient knowledge on Sexual Reproductive Health, and life skills. Project is initiated purposely to awaken and empower this generation of girls and boys not only to be consumers of science and technology but also its producers, but further more to support them to reach their full potential and work against marginalization. Main Objective/goal To increase number of girls who are brave, curious and pursuing science subjects in 10 medium primary schools and secondary school by the end of the project period. Specific Objectives/goal i. Empower girls on the use and production of technology ii. Increase girls awareness on sexual reproductive health Expected Results (By the end of the project the following results are expected) i. Brave, Curious, and Health girls who are also inspired to take up Science subjects ii. Beneficiaries seek out leadership opportunities iii. Increased number of girls taking interest in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics iv. Girls performance in science subject increased v. Decreased number of early pregnancies at school vi. Positive and shifting altitude towards women demonstrated by the community. Project description – implementation process 1 Startup The process will start with introducing the project to local authorities in the implementation sites. This will include meeting Ward Executive Officers (WEO) through WDCs, Head Masters in respective Schools. In these meetings stakeholders will be familiarized with the project’s objectives, expected results and target community. Courtesy calls will also be made at district level involving the DCs and DEDs offices while the project will seek practical and technical support from the Community Development Officers available at all levels in the implementation sites. 2 Identification of Participants The targeted beneficiaries i.e. adolescent girls will be approached through general school sensitizations in their respective schools; and in close collaboration with their teachers. Specific girls will be identified. They will then be mobilized and encouraged to participate in the project as primary beneficiaries. These girls will then be organized into Clubs (batches) each with 50 participants, making four batches per school (Total 100) in the entire project area. 3 Training Package The core of the program is an intensive two-year ICT, SRH and life skills training course. Classes are based on the PROJECT Curriculum and are taught after school by part-time selected community members called PROJECT Mentors, all of whom are university educated Tanzanian women. During the weekly, one-hour interactive PROJECT Class, the Mentors become trusted adult role models who understand the challenges each individual PROJECT Scholar faces. PROJECT Mentors teach ICT skills, reproductive health, human rights, personal leadership, public speaking, advocacy, personal finance and provide career guidance. These Classes gives girls a safe space to better understand themselves and their life goals, the confidence to challenge the discrimination they often face as young women, and the skills to become powerful leaders in their communities. Classes also help Scholars to form a solid foundation of professional skills especially in STEM, which make them better prepared to enter the workforce. PROJECT Classes are amplified by a range of extra-curricular and support activities. 4 Methodologies Two teachers will be identified and act as guardians or school focal point persons, and each club will have their own student supervisors who will be in charge of maintain order and making sure the club runs smoothly. There will be a range of eight topics tabled in eight months concerning with STEM, life skills and sexual reproductive health each club under the club (mentor) supervision will discuss the topic for three weeks while in the last week of the month outside visitors will visit and share their testimonies and inspirational stories and ideas to the girls. 5 Supportive supervision Monitoring and Evaluation is the key aspect in this project because of the Result Based Management approach which we are going to use. Indicators towards achieving the outcomes will be developed and targets will be set. Monitoring and Evaluation plan will be developed to enable day today monitoring, evaluation and re-planning where possible. Tools will be developed to capture the type of information needed from the field and this will be used in all field trips by the project team. The tools will capture all the aspects of the project to enable measuring of impact and progress. Since the project involves adolescent school girls and other stakeholders, the project will conduct participatory monitoring and evaluation at quarterly basis. Spot checks from time to time will be done by our management and members while AGM will have their own arrangements for follow ups. All results from monitoring and evaluation trips will be used for planning, re planning, dissemination, advocacy and staff & management meetings. The project implementation will be shared through reports (Monthly, quarterly, and annually) to all stakeholders including the local government. Other avenues for sharing information will be meetings, workshops, training and media. 2. Project Location: Ngara district, Kagera. Tanzania. 3. Preferred language(s): English and Swahili 4.
